Little = Lots

I love this study. It was a small study that our lab did. Basically we used the NeuroMove and got people to move their wrists and fingers, just a little. The point is, if you can find the X factor that allows for just a little active (under your control) finger and wrist extension, then you can use other options to take you further. But the trick is getting the first few degrees of movement. And we did it. The end.

This is really important because a little movement can be used to jumpstart much bigger movements. The important line is "However, both groups showed a 21 degree increase in active affected wrist extension after (NeuroMove) use."
